johnson Posted April 12, 2020 Share '04 KTM Raceline 26 I Bought this bike new in '04 and it was used in it's standard form till about '17 covering roughly 15000km's. I Saw some threads around here about building monster cross and gravel bikes and decided to give it go since the old 26" was getting used less and less. I Got hold of a Bontrager 700 disc wheelset and bought a rigid carbon fork from fellow hubber MTBTG. I Use a 11-36 cassette but the chainrings were changed to 28-44 to get a better top speed.

johnson Posted April 12, 2020 Share Just some side note's on all of my bike's:1. They all got Fizik Gobi saddles fitted. They just fit my ass well.2. They all got some version of Shimano SPD peddles fitted. I Use one pair of shoes for all my riding.3. They all got their brakes switched to right hand front brake.Reason for the brakes are that I started offroad and motocross riding and racing when I was 7. So after being used to having the front brake on my right hand for years I couldn't adapt to riding a bicycle with the brakes other way around.

PhilipV Posted April 13, 2020 Share My Trance trail bike.This Trance started life in 2016 as a Trance 2. Between then and now I have replaced/upgraded everything except the Handlebar, Fox shock, rear brake and the crankset. The frame cracked and was replaced by a Trance 1. I love the shimmery Pearl effect in this colourway. I love the local companies, so where possible I've supported Lyne and Rapide.

PhilipV Posted April 13, 2020 Share My On One 456 Carbon HardtailThis is my Rooikop Skelmpie. Not my first love, nor my main, unconventionally pretty to me, so tough and yet so rewarding to spend time with. The bike is a mishmash of hand me down and secondhand parts. It spends most of winter as a singlespeed, and does a lot of gravel and base kilometers in summer. This bike takes everything I throw at it. Wether it's a bikepacking trip or Helderberg runs, it gladly comes back for more. Sometimes it humbles me in the process, reminding me of the bad habits I've picked up while riding the fullsus and neglecting it. It doesn't mind getting dirty and being put away wet. And it doesn't mind when I ride the big lines or attempt things that my wife would classify as stupid. I saw these frames the first time in MBUK magazines that I stealthily read in Afrikaans class in high school, and I've wanted one ever since. My friend Ham had this frame, and I eventually swapped it for a RS Revelation that was on my broken Dartmoor Primal (I still mourn the death of that frame.)This frame is a bit small for me, one day when I grow up I'll probably replace the frame, or build up a new hardtail, preferably something steel with sliding dropouts. But I really don't need to, as this bike ticks all the boxes very well. Frame: On One 456 Carbon LFork: Fox F32 140mm (Trance Donor Bike)Wheels: Giant P-XC2 (Trance Donor Bike)Tyres: Rear Maxxis Aggressor 2.3 EXO Front Onza Aquila 2.4Seatpost: Lyne Contour XL 150mm (I had to drill a hole in the frame for the cable) Saddle: Spez Henge with a Blackburn Switch Wrap, with a Ryder Slug Plug, CO2 and a tyre lever. Drivetrain: Deore 1x10, Sunrace 11-42 cassette, 32t Lyne NW ring, chaintamer (needs replacing) and a chainguide of unkown brand. Brakes: Deore with 180mm front and 160mm rear rotors. Pedals: Shimano XTs that are older than my marriage. with regular servicing shimano pedals lasts forever.Handlebar: Rapide 780mm with green tape that serves as a referfence for my son to hold onto when riding with me on the Feva seat. Stem: 70mm Giant Unique touches:Hole in seatpost where someone at On One said he would hypothetically drill it if he hypothetically would need to if he wanted to fit an internally routed dropper. Topeak Versamounts to fit a second water bottle. Zipties and space blanket stashed in crank and headtube. Don't forget the bell.

GiantTjop Posted April 14, 2020 Share First up is my pride & joy - 2019 Giant Anthem Adv Pro 1 with a few upgrades. Secondly is my Scott Scale 920 (MY 2015) which I've converted into a sort-of-gravel-bike thing. I would still love to own a proper gravel bike with the correct gearing etc. Farrnus, slickjay007, Andrew_Smith and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyronLab Posted April 14, 2020 Share BMC Fourstroke 011. Frame - Full Carbon2. Grpset - Sram XX13. Brakes- Shimano XT4. Shocks - Fox5. Pedals- Shimano Saint6. Seat - Specialized Power Chameleon7. Seat post - Easton carbon EA708. Stem - Spank oozy / Loaded carbon handlebars9. Hubs - Tune King and Kong10. Cage - Birzman carbon Very nice build! Interesting in that: Stocky flat pedals on a purebred XC race machine.Seatpost is set pretty deep into the frame. Is the frame not slightly too large for you? Or have you dropped the saddle and put some flats on to up the radditude level of your riding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
